DU fantasy football 2017 edition

[True Dough]

MichReject organized the league the past few years but he hasn't been active on the discussion board in several months. Maybe he'll pop up again soon?

If not, anyone else want to take the lead as commissioner? I'm willing to do it if no one else is interested, but I'm not bent on taking the job.

Last year's fantasy league was through nfl.com. Everyone want to stick with that? Can we get together 12 teams or maybe 14?

Holler if you'd like to play.

[EarlG]

1. I'd like to play

[JonLP24]

2. Same here

I just started a thread in the football group. Commissioner isn't my thing but would be willing to join any league.

[True Dough]

3. Doesn't hurt to have another thread going in the football group

But there's less action there, which is why I created this one in the general Sports group. I'm sure we can merge everyone together to get something going. There's only 3 of us so far, but there's a few weeks to a month to go until we draft.

Do you prefer to stick with nfl.com for the league, Jon?

[JonLP24]

4. Sure

I can't do Yahoo because I'm locked out of my e-mail. Anything I would have to use my Gmail address plus I have a nFL.com login.

(capital n doesn't work)

5. I've seen predictions that the Cards

will be as good as 12-4 this season or as bad as 8-8. What do you expect their record to be?

Also, a few analysts are calling for a Pats 16-0 season. You think it's a realistic possibility?

[JonLP24]

6. It's such a tough competitive league

That there will be games you think they will win and games they look like they would lose win. I don't think 16-0 is as much of a possibility for awhile but if I think any team is going to go 16-0 it would be the Cardinals but I don't think it will happen especially with the Seahawks in the division. Just taking it one game at a time but what I like is that they have 5 preseason games so plenty of practice to work out the kinks and to get in shape. They play Thursday at 5pm PST vs Dallas.

[bluedigger]

7. I'd give it another go.

Nowhere to go but up.

[True Dough]

8. Let's hope others feel the same way you do, bluedigger

Because we only have four people expressing interest so far.

[OriginalGeek]

9. I'm interested if it's on Yahoo

That's where all my other ones are and it's just easier for me but I'm not trying to force anything lol. Y'all do what you feel is best and if it's on Yahoo I'd like to be in it. I've tried the NFL.com site a couple times now and I just don't like their whole layout. Their mobile app is even worse than their website. Maybe it's just because I'm used to Yahoo - been doing that since the early 2000s.

[True Dough]

10. I've played both Yahoo and nfl.com

Either one works fine for me. If there's no opposition to Yahoo we can go that way.

[OriginalGeek]

11. I wrote that before I saw Jon up there

I don't want to cut him out so do that one. I already have 2 other leagues I'm in so if I miss this one I won't be starving for FFB lol.

[JonLP24]

12. I can create another Yahoo account

I actually liked the Yahoo interface a lot better than NFL.com. If you decide to do Yahoo! I'll just create a new account.


On edit: Thinking about it I'd rather do Yahoo for the same reasons as you.

[OriginalGeek]

13. Hooray!

yeah Fantasy football is the only thing I use that account for so it doesn't bother me that there is about 6 trillion erectile dysfunction cure emails in there. i never look at that and don't check it and can still have my regular gmail set for notifications from the leagues.

[JonLP24]

22. I just got a brand new Yahoo account

I'm good to go.

[Moostache]

14. If this happens, I will play ... have Yahoo account already.

Just need an invite if it gets up and running...thanks to whoever is putting in the effort...

[recovering_democrat]

15. will play but not able to take any lead in anything, sorry

i currently play on ESPN fantasy, have multiple teams already selected. I like NFL fantasy but have max teams for that site at this time.

Have played on Yahoo in the past and am fine with it but not set up for this year. I will go get 2017 account set up for that site. Notify if this is moving and what I need to sign up for.

[True Dough]

16. Great! Moostache makes 6

We need a minimum of 10. Twelve is better, IMO, but 10 will do.

At least 4 more players. Beat the bushes if you think you can find some takers.

[ghostsinthemachine]

17. I'm in

Prefer Yahoo over NFL as well.

[True Dough]

18. Well, this is coming along nicely!

Two more managers pop up just like that. OriginalGeek's thread in the Lounge appears to have helped. Thanks!

Sounds like Yahoo is the preferred site by most here, so we'll likely go with that.

Let's find two (or better yet, four) more participants and have a helluva league!

[JonLP24]

21. mitch usually did the draft on Sunday after the third preseason week

because the 3rd week is the "dress rehearsal" week and the depth charts are usually set by then plus injuries as well and also more people likely to be around for the draft, I'm OK with whatever day you decide. Just posting in case you were wondering what day to go with.

[hay rick]

19. Why not?

Everybody else can enjoy playing for second place.

[missingthebigdog]

20. Please pick me!!

I would love to be part of this.

[Callmecrazy]

23. I'd like to play!

Who do I talk to?

[JonLP24]

24. He'll probably send you a PM

[Callmecrazy]

25. Thanks for the invite...

Bonecrushers are now active.

[dry99]

26. The Turtles have something to prove.

I'm in if there is room.

[dry99]

27. Oh and Yahoo is fine with me.

NT

[getting old in mke]

28. Mr Callahan and the Crew is in

Gotta scratch my way back to my 2015 glory...

[True Dough]

29. Aha!

So you were Callahan's Crew? You were the champ last year.

Well, you are also the 12th and final team for this year's league. Good timing!

[Iggo]

30. I hate those guys!

WAR PIGS!!!!

[getting old in mke]

31. So, my old nemesis, we meet again...

[True Dough]

32. Bump!

Need one more person is what is going to be a 14-team league!

This is your chance to make your name on the fantasy stage! Speak up now!

[True Dough]

33. Don't forget

our draft is this Sunday at 8:30 p.m. Eastern. Be there, or give auto-draft some direction unless you really want to leave it to chance.

[True Dough]

34. Greenmans did it! Greenmans did it!

Congrats to WarMaster Lee! He didn't have the strongest week in the championship, but he had enough in the tank to become the 2017 DU Fantasy Football champ.

And another great season for Callahan's Crew, always there in the end.

Thanks to all for participating!

[OriginalGeek]

35. Yay me!

Lol. Fun season. Ready for next year!

[True Dough]

36. So NOW he finally posts!

I'm gonna guess that was one helluva long victory parade you just returned from!



Congrats, man.

[OriginalGeek]

37. Lol I got sick on the 26th

And didn't get out of bed until Friday. Then work and new years took my time. ..and now I'm getting back to normal.

Thanks! Like I said in the league, we both tried hard to lose that game. If I'd started Goff it would have saved me some fingernails!

[True Dough]

38. Hope you're feeling better, WarMaster

You have several months to recuperate until training camp begins.
